Your Dog – The 10 Most Terrible Christmas Gifts
By Dog Lover | December 27, 2009
When it comes to Christmas gifts for dogs, this year being no different, the pet business rolls out a few doozies. While some may be humorous, others are just plain peculiar .Here’s a list of 10 of the worst Christmas gift ideas for your dog
1.Doggy clothes. Okay, there are some dogs that are clowns and don’t mind clothing, but for the most part, dogs do not like to wear clothes. They don’t like shoes, sweaters, costumes, hats, goggles, or anything that they weren’t born wearing.
2. Pet memorial stones. Your dog will certainly not enjoy or appreciate a memorial stone or marker bought before the day actually arrives, although yes, it is true that your dog is going to pass away someday.
3. Pet’s Eye View. This little device lets you see what your dog has been up to when you’re away by hanging around your dog’s neck and taking photos . All you have to do is set the digital camera to take a picture every 1, 5 or 15 minutes so that you can review the images when you get home. An unfortunate idea since it’ll be a snooze for you because your dog most likely naps most of the day, and he should be entitled to some secrets, right?Besides the fact that they most likely don’t want a camera hanging from their collar.
4. Humunga Stache Durable Dog Toy. When your dog holds the ball in his mouth, the attached mustache is positioned on their face to make it appear your dog has a mustache. It’s foolish and just a good old ball is what most dogs would prefer .
5. Fab Furcedes Pet Bed. Although we are not against pet beds, this is just a bit over the top silly . It is just impractical that one toss in the washer and dryer is going to cause your dog’s fancy little sports car bed to look like a bent up VW Bug.
6. The Pin-Up Doggie Diva Wig. We’ve never met a dog that enjoys wearing a wig, not to mention that it’s a bit creepy . These bizarre little wigs range from ‘normal’ brown to a spiky fluorescent green. A dog should never have to suffer this humiliation.
7. Collar charms. Bling-tastic, Rock of Love and a number of other manufacturers make dog collar charms. Adding ‘bling’ only weighs a dog down and adds noise to their every movement , and most dogs dislike wearing collars. This is not enjoyable for anyone.
8. A tote bag. Your dog adores being with you, but doesn’t necessarily enjoy being thrusted into a bag. If you must have a bag to carry your dog around in, buy one for yourself, but get your dog a new toy or bone to munch on – that’s what they really like.
9. Grooming supplies. Dogs, whether big or small, young or old, do not seem to be too concerned with grooming. For health reasons, you should keep their nails short and their ears and wrinkles cleaned, and of course you want them to smell good enough to snuggle , but buying them grooming supplies for Christmas is like getting your child a pair of fingernail clippers or shampoo. They are not interested in that, they only want something fun.
10. Anything electric. An electric collar or fence represents nothing but limitations and punishment . This is never fun and certainly not a good holiday present .
Christmas presents for your dog should be fun for them. They shouldn’t be at your dog’s expense or to make your life more simple.You should give your pooch something that makes their life better. Add value to their life with something spectacular like a treat or toy, but pass on these 10 worst Christmas gift ideas for your dog. Your dog will appreciate it.
